The Castit Slide Creator has received powerful new visual upgrades that help you design more modern, polished, and professional-looking content directly inside the CMS.

Whether you're creating a brand-new design or editing an existing one, you now have far more options for styling objects, images, and elements on your slides. In this article, we highlight the most important improvements and explain how to use them.

Where to Find the New Options

All new features are available inside the Slide Creator. You can:

• open an existing design, or
• click New Design in the top-right corner to start from scratch.

Once the editor opens, you’ll see the element toolbar on the left and a detailed settings panel on the right, tailored to whatever object you select.

Adding Shapes and Objects

Castit now offers a wider selection of graphic elements and shapes to help you build more dynamic layouts. How it works:

• Click Shapes
• Choose an object (e.g., star, circle, arrow…)
• Select it on the canvas
• The editing panel on the right becomes active

This is where all the new visual options appear.

New Appearance Controls (Appearance Tab)

When you select an object or image, the Appearance tab on the right gives you access to a range of new styling tools.

1. Fill Options

You can now choose between:

• Solid (single color: HEX, RGB, opacity)
• Linear Gradient
• Radial Gradient

Gradients allow for softer, more modern aesthetics, perfect for backgrounds, buttons, highlights, and decorative elements.

2. Border Controls

Adjust:

• border color
• thickness
• line style
• opacity

Borders help objects stand out or blend in more subtly, depending on your design.

3. Drop Shadow

One of the most requested visual features is finally here.

Customize:

• offset
• blur
• shadow color
• opacity

Shadows add depth, create contrast, and give slides a more polished, professional look.

4. Corner Radius

Every shape now supports adjustable corner rounding, from subtle curves to fully rounded corners. Ideal for modern card layouts, buttons, and soft UI elements.

Precise Layout & Positioning (Size & Position Tab)

The second tab in the panel offers detailed control over how elements are placed and sized.

You can adjust:

• width & height
• locked aspect ratio
• rotation
• alignment
• horizontal/vertical flip

This level of precision is especially useful when you need pixel-perfect layouts or symmetrical designs.
